LadyLake Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Happy Easter Everyone! I went thru my past quilting job photos to look for a happy quilt -- here it is. I have a girlfriend who never ceases to amaze me with her cute ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyLake Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 My friend decided to use the crocheted people, made by her aunt, in this wallhanging, and planned to sew them to the wallhanging as shown, after it was quilted. What a neat idea for displaying handmade items that are usually put away in a drawer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyLake Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 For the quilting, I stayed traditional with white cotton thread, using two designs from Darlene Epps idea books, a simple bow meander in the center and one of my favorite border designs, called 'Madeline'. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage Keepsakes Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Joan I love the quilting you've done, especially the quilting in the yellow border. It gives a really soft look to this 'happy quilt' which is very pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
